Chapter 189

After these people left, only Xu Yuan and Bai Guzhu were left in the room.

Bai Guzhu had already checked Ye Zilan's injuries.

"The eldest prince's injuries are not light, little girl. I heard that you promised the queen to treat the eldest prince's leg disease?"

Bai Guzhu looked at Xu Yuan. It was not difficult to treat these external injuries.

But this leg disease... Bai Guzhu looked worried.

It was obvious that he didn't want Xu Yuan to step into this muddy water at this time.

"Yes."

Xu Yuan replied.

"Then do you know the eldest prince's current condition? Let alone whether he can stand up, his body may not be able to bear the pain brought by the treatment."

"If you don't do it well, you may put yourself in danger."

Bai Guzhu also understood the matter this time, and it was obvious that he was targeting Xu Yuan.

Just saying that he could be cured made the third prince confront him. He couldn't imagine how much danger would be caused as the treatment progressed.

"I know." Xu Yuan sighed. She had expected this to happen before agreeing. But thinking of her past life, she lowered her eyes. "If you do nothing about many things, you will only become a chess piece for others."

Bai Guzhu was silent, obviously understanding what Xu Yuan meant.

"Let me treat the prince. You rest on the side."

Bai Guzhu was a little surprised when he saw the acupuncture bag Xu Yuan put aside.

Xu Yuan nodded and did not refuse. He watched Bai Guzhu treat Ye Zilan quietly.

After acupuncture, Ye Zilan's pulse was obviously much more stable.

It will take some time for him to wake up. After Bai Guzhu finished speaking, Xu Yuan walked up and bowed to him.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Xu Yuan's sudden action, Bai Guzhu was a little surprised.

"Thank you for helping me out in the imperial study today."

"It's all a small matter. Besides, I didn't ask for your opinion on the matter of accepting a disciple because I was in a hurry."

After Xu Yuan mentioned this, Bai Guzhu felt a little embarrassed.

"If Master Bai doesn't mind, I'm willing." Xu Yuan looked at Master Bai with a sincere tone.

Master Bai was stunned, obviously shocked by Xu Yuan's words. After a long while, he asked Xu Yuan.

"Xu Yuan, are you really willing to take me as your master?"

Although Master Bai asked Xu Yuan, his voice was more apprehensive and uncertain.

Xu Yuan nodded, and his eyes became firm when facing Master Bai's question.

"Yes, I am willing to be Master Bai's apprentice, but I don't know what you mean?"

When Xu Yuan heard Master Bai call him his apprentice in the imperial study, he was really shocked for a long time.

He even suspected that Master Bai also remembered everything in his previous life by some coincidence, but later he knew that this was just a stopgap measure. Xu Yuan

was indeed a little disappointed when she knew this. She knew very well that her medical skills came from Master Bai's teachings. If he didn't exist, even if she came back to this life, except for knowing the information of her previous life in advance, her bargaining chips would become smaller.

She kept this favor in mind until she saw him again.

But Xu Yuan also understood that there were some differences between the past life and the present. Even though she knew that Master Bai was the master who taught her medical skills in the past life, she could not recognize him, and there was no reason for it.

If she could take advantage of this opportunity, it would be a good thing. Now that Ye Zilan was out of danger, Xu Yuan no longer hid her thoughts and simply said this idea out loud.

She looked at Master Bai with expectation, "I wonder if you are willing to accept me as your apprentice?"

Master Bai nodded quickly after reacting, "Yes! Of course I am willing!"

You should know that after seeing Xu Yuan's medical skills, he had the idea of accepting an apprentice.

"Little girl, you will be my last disciple in the future," Master Bai said with a smile on his face, and he was so proud when he said this.

"I will send a message to the valley later and ask your two senior brothers to come together."

Although there are many outer disciples in Yaowang Valley, anyone who is willing to learn medical skills can come, but there are only two who are truly accepted as last disciples.

Now with Xu Yuan, there are three.

"Master."

Xu Yuan called out to Bai Guzhu. This was the title she had been waiting for for a long time.

Bai Guzhu responded. He was in a hurry and had not prepared any gifts for his disciple. He

must prepare well later.

The queen who was waiting outside saw Xu Yuan and Bai Guzhu coming out together and asked, "Bai Guzhu, and Miss Xu, how is the prince now?"

"He is fine. He will be awake after a few days of recuperation."

Bai Guzhu replied to the queen.

The queen nodded. She felt relieved by Bai Guzhu's words.

She looked at Xu Yuan again, "Miss Xu, can I have a word with you?"

Before Xu Yuan could answer, Bai Guzhu had already said, "Queen, the prince's poisoning has nothing to do with my disciple."

Facing Bai Guzhu's protection, Xu Yuan felt warm in her heart.

The Queen smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. I didn't mean to make things difficult for Miss Xu. I just wanted to ask her something else."

Xu Yuan looked at Master Bai and said, "Master, don't worry. The Queen is a very good person."

After hearing this, Master Bai stopped trying to stop him and just told Xu Yuan to be careful.

Xu Yuan followed the Queen to a more secluded place.

At this time, Xu Yuan asked first, "Queen, do you have anything to ask me?"

"Does Miss Xu have any clues about Zi Lan's situation?"

The Queen looked at Xu Yuan, but was afraid that she might have misunderstood, so she explained again, "I don't doubt you, but this matter is too strange. I think..."

"If I'm not wrong, this matter should be related to the Third Prince. Does the Queen remember that day when I entered the palace?"

The Queen was stunned at first, but soon reacted.

"Are you saying that this matter is also related to Concubine Liu?"

"I can't rule out this possibility."

Facing the Queen's question, Xu Yuan didn't say too much.

But just this information alone can make the Queen alert.

"I know about these things, Xu Yuan, I have to thank you."

The Queen looked at Xu Yuan with kindness.

"What surprised me even more is that you are actually the disciple of the master of Medicine King Valley."

Xu Yuan raised the corners of his lips and replied to the Queen, "Your Majesty, I am just doing my best to treat you."

At this time, a panicked voice came from not far away.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

The Queen frowned, looked at Xu Yuan, and then looked at the source of the voice.

"What happened?"

"Empress, the imprisoned imperial physician committed suicide by taking poison."

"What?!"

Hearing this, the empress realized something was wrong. She had originally thought of imprisoning the person first and then sending someone to interrogate him later.

But she didn't expect that he would commit suicide by taking poison.

This would only make the situation more difficult.
